For anybody who wants to try to help elmanki, here's my (more-or-less) translation of what he/she is saying:

"I installed Vector 5.1 Standard, but I can't connect to the internet. I tried every type of command which I found on Spanish forums which are not related to this distro, and unfortunately here everything is in English, which I've tried to understand. I like Vector, but there's no forum in my language. I understand some English and from what I've read I'm not the only person with this problem with the Internet. My connection is DSL and I've tried to configure it manually, my pci ethernet card is detected, but I'm not very advanced at Linux. Please offer any suggestions, thanks."

My Spanish is rusty but I'm pretty sure what I've written is accurate enough. If anybody has any suggestions (in English) send me a private message and I'll either translate it or have my neighbor (who is from Mexico) translate it.

Hi almanki! Look, I am not an expert, but I am sure there is others here who will help you, please contact me if you need some help with the translations. You could paste here some info, like what kind and model of modem you are using, ant what kind of internet conection do you have. You can obtain some info about your pc with the lspci and lsmod commands, you can paste the output here, so the guys could give better help.cheers, Rodrigo.

Download it, extract it, cd to the source dir, and execute the "go" script as root. Answer the questions, and follow the prompt. After that's done, execute "pppoe-start" as root and you should be connected.

Hi elmaki, it seems you are not alone speaking english. What kind of modem do you have?? its an usb? by chance its the speedtouch 330? because it´s to rub sb down.... i´ve only installed it in SUSE 10.0 but i can give you a very friendly tutorial,

Really it upsets so many amiability seriously, not crei that were so nice in this forum which really I am grateful for them, install this version 5.1 standar as that alone I have 64 of memory Ram, and before it install 5.8 SOHO and it was slowly.

My modem is a DSL 2whire, and thinking it well there will disburden the version 5.8 standar and in awhile posteare results, thank you and very nice.

I have lowered this version, recorde that gives me mistake on the hard, corrupt or full disks says, already habia tried previously and because of it installs the version 5.1 standar, even if it is different hard disk and new exhaust it he says the installation to me.
